Is the M3 jack anything special or the same as on other E30's?

It is different, M3 comes with a scissor type jack. Believe non M's have upright [ winding ] with extended arm type, the sill covers get in the way with a non M jack.

I cut my jack mounts off(the ones in the boot not under the car) and any other bracket or excess metal.

Uwe i'm sure you don't need your spark plug spanner either, just send it my way! It will reduce the kefb weight.

Saw this when it first came up and thought it was a question (sort of) didn't want to make a silly comment right away as I thought you, UweM3, would prefer something sensible, at least to start with. So ....

My M3 has sissor type, and I know normal E30 has arm type, so purely an assumption on my part.

I'll assume that yours works on your M3 without catching on the sill?

Guess your sig name means yours is a 1990 M3 same as mine?

I'll have to check this on my fleet, as I am sure all my M3's have the standard arm type, not scissor.

I shall let you all know
